array_product
If you want to preserve the keys in the array, use the following:
<?php
function array_pshift(&$array) {
$keys = array_keys($array);
$key = array_shift($keys);
$element = $array[$key];
unset($array[$key]);
return $element;
}
?>
array_push
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
array_push — 배열의 끝에 하나 이상의 원소를 넣는다
설명
array_push()는 array 를 스택으로 취급하고, array 끝에 전달되어진 변수를 넣는다. array 의 길이는 집어넣은 변수의 수만큼 증가한다. 다음과 같은 효과를 갖는다:
<?php
$array[] = $var;
?>
각 var 에 대해 반복된다.
Note: array_push()를 하나의 원소를 넣는 데 사용한다면, $array[] = 을 사용하는 것이 좋습니다. 함수 호출의 오버헤드가 없기 때문입니다.
Note: array_push()에 첫번째 인수가 배열이 아니면 경고가 발생합니다. 이는 새 배열이 생성될 때 $var[] 동작과 다릅니다.
인수
- array
-
입력 배열.
- var
-
넣을 값.
반환값
배열에 새로 추가된 원소의 수를 반환한다.
예제
Example #1 array_push() 예제
<?php
$stack = array("orange", "banana");
array_push($stack, "apple", "raspberry");
print_r($stack);
?>
위 예제의 출력:
Array
(
[0] => orange
[1] => banana
[2] => apple
[3] => raspberry
)

This function "Returns the new number of elements in the array."
To find out the last index, use:
<?php
$count = array_push($array, $value);
$last_index = array_pop(array_keys($array));
?>

If you need to push the elements of an array onto the end of another, simply use array_splice():
array_splice($array, count($array), 0, $otherArray);

A function which mimics push() from perl, perl lets you push an array to an array: push(@array, @array2, @array3). This function mimics that behaviour.
<?php
function array_push_array(&$arr) {
$args = func_get_args();
array_shift($args);
if (!is_array($arr)) {
trigger_error(sprintf("%s: Cannot perform push on something that isn't an array!", __FUNCTION__), E_USER_WARNING);
return false;
}
foreach($args as $v) {
if (is_array($v)) {
if (count($v) > 0) {
array_unshift($v, &$arr);
call_user_func_array('array_push', $v);
}
} else {
$arr[] = $v;
}
}
return count($arr);
}
$arr = array(0);
$arr2 = array(6,7,8);
printf("%s\n", array_push_array($arr, array(),array(1,2,3,4,5), $arr2));
print_r($arr);
# error..
$arr = "test";
printf("%s\n", array_push_array($arr, array(),array(1,2,3,4,5), $arr2));
?>

If you're adding multiple values to an array in a loop, it's faster to use array_push than repeated [] = statements that I see all the time:
<?php
class timer
{
private $start;
private $end;
public function timer()
{
$this->start = microtime(true);
}
public function Finish()
{
$this->end = microtime(true);
}
private function GetStart()
{
if (isset($this->start))
return $this->start;
else
return false;
}
private function GetEnd()
{
if (isset($this->end))
return $this->end;
else
return false;
}
public function GetDiff()
{
return $this->GetEnd() - $this->GetStart();
}
public function Reset()
{
$this->start = microtime(true);
}
}
echo "Adding 100k elements to array with []\n\n";
$ta = array();
$test = new Timer();
for ($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++)
{
$ta[] = $i;
}
$test->Finish();
echo $test->GetDiff();
echo "\n\nAdding 100k elements to array with array_push\n\n";
$test->Reset();
for ($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++)
{
array_push($ta,$i);
}
$test->Finish();
echo $test->GetDiff();
echo "\n\nAdding 100k elements to array with [] 10 per iteration\n\n";
$test->Reset();
for ($i = 0; $i < 10000; $i++)
{
$ta[] = $i;
$ta[] = $i;
$ta[] = $i;
$ta[] = $i;
$ta[] = $i;
$ta[] = $i;
$ta[] = $i;
$ta[] = $i;
$ta[] = $i;
$ta[] = $i;
}
$test->Finish();
echo $test->GetDiff();
echo "\n\nAdding 100k elements to array with array_push 10 per iteration\n\n";
$test->Reset();
for ($i = 0; $i < 10000; $i++)
{
array_push($ta,$i,$i,$i,$i,$i,$i,$i,$i,$i,$i);

if you're going to use array_push() to insert a "$key" => "$value" pair into an array, it can be done using the following example:
array_push($data[$key], $value);
...
array_push($data[$key], $value);

I've done a small comparison between array_push() and the $array[] method and the $array[] seems to be a lot faster.
<?php
$array = array();
for ($x = 1; $x <= 100000; $x++)
{
$array[] = $x;
}
?>
takes 0.0622200965881 seconds
and
<?php
$array = array();
for ($x = 1; $x <= 100000; $x++)
{
array_push($array, $x);
}
?>
takes 1.63195490837 seconds
so if your not making use of the return value of array_push() its better to use the $array[] way.
Hope this helps someone.

This will work to solve the associative array issues:
$aValues[$key] = $value;
Where $key is a unique identifier and $value is the value to be stored. Since the $key works off a string or number, if you already have a $key with the same value as an existing $key, the element will be overwritten.
e.g.
$aValues["one"] = "value of one";
$aValues["two"] = "different value of two!";
gives:
array([one] => "value of one", [two] => "value of two");
but will be overwritten when using the same key (one):
$aValues["one"] = "value of one";
$aValues["one"] = "different value of two!";
will give:
array([one] => "different value of two!");

I had a problem with .htaccess and some tricky encrypted paths (for protecting true dir names of images and files) and created this quick function to auto correct paths for the document root using regex and array_diff
<?
function fixPath($path){
$temp = trim($path);
$temp = eregi_replace("(\./|\.\./)","/",$temp);
$temp = eregi_replace("([^/]+(\.htm|\.php))","",$temp);
if(!eregi($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'],$temp,$regs)){
$partsA = explode("/",substr($temp,0,-1));
$partsB = explode("/",$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
//if the path does not match the dir structure diff the array and reconstruct on the TRUE doc root
$tHolder = array_diff($partsA,$partsB);
foreach($tHolder as $k=>$v){
array_push($partsB,$v);
}
$temp = implode("/",$partsB)."/";
}
return $temp;
}
$correctPath = fixPath('.som/phpEncrypted/Path/class/class.QMI.php');
?>
The function strips out filename, checks to see if the path resolves to the doc root, and if it does not it takes the difference in the paths and returns a path that translates to the true path. This is useful for encoding paths where you want to obfuscate the true server path (such as creating external api functions)

A small and basic implementation of a stack without using an array.
class node
{
var $elem;
var $next;
}
class stack
{
var $next;
function pop()
{
$aux=$this->next->elem;
$this->next=$this->next->next;
return $aux;
}
function push($obj)

Just a typo i think but the code below will actually produce
Array
(
[0] => a
[1] => b
[2] => c
[3] => Array
(
[0] => d
[1] => e
[2] => f
)
)

If you push an array onto the stack, PHP will add the whole array to the next element instead of adding the keys and values to the array. If this is not what you want, you're better off using array_merge() or traverse the array you're pushing on and add each element with $stack[$key] = $value.
<?php
$stack = array('a', 'b', 'c');
array_push($stack, array('d', 'e', 'f'));
print_r($stack);
?>
The above will output this:
Array (
[0] => a
[1] => b
[2] => c
[3] => Array (
[0] => a
[1] => b
[2] => c
)
)

Further Modification on the array_push_associative function
1. removes seemingly useless array_unshift function that generates php warning
2. adds support for non-array arguments
<?
// Append associative array elements
function array_push_associative(&$arr) {
$args = func_get_args();
foreach ($args as $arg) {
if (is_array($arg)) {
foreach ($arg as $key => $value) {
$arr[$key] = $value;
$ret++;
}
}else{
$arr[$arg] = "";
}
}
return $ret;
}
$items = array("here" => "now");
$moreitems = array("this" => "that");
$theArray = array("where" => "do we go", "here" => "we are today");
echo array_push_associative($theArray, $items, $moreitems, "five") . ' is the size of $theArray.<br />';
echo "<pre>";
print_r($theArray);
echo "</pre>";
?>
Yields:
4 is the size of $theArray.
Array
(
[where] => do we go
[here] => now
[this] => that
[five] =>
)

Previous comment was not fully imitating the array_push behaviour,
1) does not return number of items pushed
2) can only handle one array to push
> Revised associative_push function with absolute reference of arg1 array; left unchanged if arg2 is empty.
<?php
// Append associative array elements
function array_push_associative(&$arr) {
$args = func_get_args();
array_unshift($args); // remove &$arr argument
foreach ($args as $arg) {
if (is_array($arg)) {
foreach ($arg as $key => $value) {
$arr[$key] = $value;
$ret++;
}
}
}
return $ret;
}
$theArray = array();
echo array_push_associative($theArray, $items, $moreitems) . ' items added to $theArray.';

Looking for a way to push data into an associative array and frustrated to know that array_push() can't do the job ?
here's my Scenario :
-------------------
I need to relate system command output into an associative array like these :
[sge@digital_db work]$ /usr/local/apache/htdocs/work/qhost.sh -h t1 -F | awk '{if(NR>4) print $1}' | sed 's/hl://g'
arch=lx24-amd64
num_proc=2.000000
mem_total=3.808G
swap_total=3.907G
virtual_total=7.715G
load_avg=0.000000
load_short=0.000000
load_medium=0.000000
load_long=0.000000
mem_free=3.510G
swap_free=3.907G
virtual_free=7.417G
mem_used=305.242M
swap_used=0.000
virtual_used=305.242M
cpu=0.000000
np_load_avg=0.000000
np_load_short=0.000000
np_load_medium=0.000000
np_load_long=0.000000
how I did it :
<? php
# get into the system command output
$assoc_cmd =`$work_dir/qhost.sh -h $host_resource -F | awk '{if(NR>4) print $1}'| sed 's/hl://g' ` ;
# split the "\n" character
$assoc_row = explode("\n", chop($assoc_cmd));
# get the index row
$idx_row = count($assoc_row) - 1 ;
# initialize the associative array
$host_res_array = array();
for ($i = 0 ; $i<= $idx_row ; $i++)
{
# get params & values
list($host_param,$host_val) = explode("=",$assoc_row[$i]);
# populate / push data to assoc array
$host_res_array[$host_param]= $host_val ;
}
echo "<pre> Architecture : </pre>\n" ;
echo $host_res_array['arch'] ;
echo "<pre> Mem Total : </pre>\n" ;
echo $host_res_array['mem_tot'];
?>
Hope this helps ! :)

regarding the speed of oneill's solution to insert a value into a non-associative array, I've done some tests and I found that it behaves well if you have a small array and more insertions, but for a huge array and a little insersions I sugest using this function:
function array_insert( &$array, $index, $value ) {
$cnt = count($array);
for( $i = $cnt-1; $i >= $index; --$i ) {
$array[ $i + 1 ] = $array[ $i ];
}
$array[$index] = $value;
}
or if you are a speed adicted programmer (same situation: big array, few insertions) use this:
array_splice ( $array, $offset, 0, $item );
item may also be an array of values ;).

As someone pointed out the array_push() function returns the count of the array not the key of the new element. As it was the latter function i required i wrote this very simple replacement.
function array_push2(&$array,$object,$key=null){
$keys = array_keys($array);
rsort($keys);
$newkey = ($key==null)?$keys[0]+1:$key;
$array[$newkey] = $object;
return $newkey;
}

To insert a value into a non-associative array, I find this simple function does the trick:
function insert_in_array_pos($array, $pos, $value)
{
$result = array_merge(array_slice($array, 0 , $pos), array($value), array_slice($array, $pos));
return $result;
}
Seems an awful lot simpler than the iterative solutions given above...

Skylifter notes on 20-Jan-2004 that the [] empty bracket notation does not return the array count as array_push does. There's another difference between array_push and the recommended empty bracket notation.
Empy bracket doesn't check if a variable is an array first as array_push does. If array_push finds that a variable isn't an array it prints a Warning message if E_ALL error reporting is on.
So array_push is safer than [], until further this is changed by the PHP developers.

Note that array_push() will, as described, return the COUNT of the array after adding a new item, not necessarily the INDEX of that new item:
<?php
$array = array(3 => 'three', 5 => 'five');
echo "\$array = ";
print_r($array);
echo "\n\n";
$to_push = array(1,2,4,);
foreach($to_push as $var)
{
echo "calling array_push(\$array,$var); retval is ";
echo array_push($array,$var);
echo "\n";
}
echo "\$array = ";
print_r($array);
?>
The output of above is:
$array = Array
(
[3] => three
[5] => five
)
calling array_push($array,1); retval is 4
calling array_push($array,2); retval is 5
calling array_push($array,4); retval is 6
$array = Array
(
[3] => three
[5] => five
[7] => seven
[8] => 1
[9] => 2
[10] => 4
)
Notice how when array_push($array,1) was called, the new element has a key of 8 but array_push() returns 4.

Need a real one-liner for adding an element onto a new array name?
$emp_list_bic = $emp_list + array(c=>"ANY CLIENT");
CONTEXT...
drewdeal: this turns out to be better and easier than array_push()
patelbhadresh: great!... so u discover new idea...
drewdeal: because you can't do: $emp_list_bic = array_push($emp_list, c=>"ANY CLIENT");
drewdeal: array_push returns a count and affects current array.. and does not support set keys!
drewdeal: yeah. My one-liner makes a new array as a derivative of the prior array

The problem with array_push is that it is pass by value. If you are dealing with objects whose inner state may change at any time, you need a push and pop who return the actual objects, rather than copies of them.
After some difficulty and board assistance, I have these methods. I've tested them, and they seem to work fine.
<?php
function push(&$array, &$object){
$array[] =& $object;
}
function & pop(&$array){
return array_pop($array);
}
// [Test Code]
class TestObject{
var $value = 0;
function getValue(){
return $this->value;
}
function setValue($mixed){
$this->value = $mixed;
}
}
$myarr = array();
$tmp =& new TestObject();
$tmp2 =& new TestObject();
$tmp->setValue(2);
$tmp2->setValue(3);
push($myarr, $tmp);
push($myarr, $tmp2);
$tmp->setValue(4);
$tmp2->setValue(6);
$val = pop($myarr);
print "popped value: ".$val->getValue()."<br />";
print "values in internal array: <br />";
foreach ($myarr as $key=>$value){
print "key: $key, object: $value, value: ";
print $value->getValue()."<br />";
}
// [/TestCode]
?>

However, don't forget that array_push() does more than [], it also performs a count and returns the value.
Modifying your code ever so slightly (see below), this puts array_push in the lead (not suprisingly). So my conclusion would be that if I care about the number of elements in the array, then I'd use array_push(), if I don't (which is usually the case), then I'd use the [] method.
Results...
[] method: 0.34943199
push method: 0.31505919
difference: -0.03437280
Modified section of code...
$s_test_begin = FullMicroTime();
for($i = 0; $i <= 50000; $i++) { $num_tot = array_push($test2, $i); }
$s_test_end = FullMicroTime();
$f_test_begin = FullMicroTime();
for($i = 0; $i <= 50000; $i++) { $test[] = $i; $num_tot = count($test); }
$f_test_end = FullMicroTime();

Sadly, array_push() does not create an array if the array doesn't exist. So if you're pushing the first element onto an array, you need to check and create it manually...
<?php
if ( !is_array($myArray) ) $myArray= array();
array_push($myArray, $myElement);
?>

Array_push also works fine with multidimensional arrays. Just make sure the element is defined as an array first.
<?php
$array["element"][$element]["element"] = array();
array_push ($array["element"][$element]["element"], "banana");
?>
